This week in English we have started our new Power of Reading book, ‘The Hodgeheg’” by Dick King Smith.  We have explored sentence structure as the main character Max has a bump to the head and starts speaking in a muddled way. We wrote down the sentences in the correct order to help him. We have also acted out crossing a busy road and thought about how a small animal like a hedgehog would feel trying to cross the road with all the loud sounds around him.

In Maths we have started our new topic, Place Value. We have been exploring teen numbers and how we can partition them into tens and ones. We have practised substituting ten ones for one ten. We have also recorded our work both numerically and pictorially in our books.

In RE we have started our topic – Creation and Covenant. We have retold the story of Noah, highlighting the importance of the rainbow as a symbol of God’s promise to Noah. We learnt that this story can be found in the Old  Testament of the Bible. We created artwork to remind us of God’s promise to Noah and to remember that a promise is a covenant with God.
